New Renewable Energy Technologies

„ Hydrogen Energy
„ Geothermal Energy
„ Chemical Sources Of Energy (i.e. Fuel
Cell)
„ Alternate Fuels (i.e. Bio-diesel, fuel
ethanol, FT fuels)
Why Renewable Energy?
„ Finite primary energy sources and
reducing dependence on it.
„ Protect environment & public health.
„ Create new job & economic growth.
„ To save some primary energy for our
future generations.
„ To enhance energy security.
Relevance to Energy Conservation/Energy Efficiency

„ The ultimate objective of Energy Conservation/Energy

Efficiency improvement is to Reduce load on primary
energy sources.
„ The Renewable energy option provides an alternative
means for our day to day energy needs.
„ Some options like Biomass gasifier, Wind energy
provides cost wise cheaper options to replace oil or grid
power.
„ To tackle climate change renewable energy mostly don't
add carbon compounds to our local environment.
Available Renewable Energy Technologies
for Industrial Applications

„ Biomass energy
„ Wind Energy
„ Hydro Power
„ Solar Energy
Biomass Energy
„ Firing directly biomass/wood chips into the
boiler for steam generation.
„ Gasifying the Biomass/wood chips in
biomass Gasifiers for producing producer
gas.
„ Producer gas(H2-20%,CO-18%, CH4-11%,
N2-51%) for heating in furnace, converting it
into liquid fuels by FTS process.
 Wind Energy
„ Converting power in the wind directly to
electricity by Aero generators.
- Captive power
- Grid interactive power plant, feeding
produced electricity into national power grid
„ Wind energy based water pumping.
Hydro Power
„ Energy in the flowing water
„ Dam or Reservoir
„ Passing the water into water turbines to produce
electricity
„ Decentralized power can be used for local need
of remote villages not connected by grid power
„ Big hydel power plant feed electricity to national
grid
Solar Energy
„ Solar Photo-voltaic
- Converting solar radiations directly into electricity
- Store energy in batteries
- Feeding the electricity directly into grid by grid
interactive power plant
„ Solar Thermal power
- Hot air for process applications
- Hot water for process application
- Low pressure steam for process applications
